Our Venture Best® group works closely with entrepreneurs, and with their venture capital and angel investors, to help new, high-growth companies find financial backing and grow their businesses.
We help companies and investors make connections, structure and close transactions, and maximize returns. We also counsel early-stage businesses on their financial, organizational, and regulatory needs as they grow.
We represent start-ups and emerging technology companies in many different industries, including biotechnology, information technology and software, clean tech, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, electronics, and other high-technology sectors. Members of our Venture Best team have themselves been venture-backed entrepreneurs, as well as angel and venture capital investors, giving us great depth of insight on both the legal and business sides of the start-up environment.
Our core services include advising clients on:
We go beyond core legal services to provide crucial value-added services, such as advising on business plan and pitch development, making investor introductions, and team-building referrals. The extensive network of contacts we've cultivated throughout the venture capital ecosystem enables us to help each entrepreneur find the right investors — and vice versa.
We also understand that raising money, building teams, growing businesses, and innovating "between the coasts" is different than in the major venture capital centers such as Silicon Valley and New York. While we have experience in these major markets, our "between the coasts" focus means Michael Best can also provide entrepreneurs with strategic, sophisticated, affordable counsel across the country.
Thanks to our experience working with emerging as well as established businesses, we know how to help entrepreneurs succeed while avoiding (or remedying) common mistakes such as those outlined below. A more detailed discussion is available on our Venture Best site, along with other resources for entrepreneurs and investors.
For entrepreneurs who hope to receive outside venture or angel capital, incorporating as a C-corporation is usually best. Most venture capital funds and angel funds will only invest in C-corporations for tax and administrative reasons. A limited liability company or S-corporation can be converted into a C-corporation if necessary.
We help entrepreneurs who are raising capital navigate the plethora of securities laws that apply to, for example, selling shares of the company's common stock or other securities to family and friends; providing proper disclosure documents; advertising and solicitation; and the definition of an "accredited investor." Violations can have severe consequences, such as fines, penalties, and criminal sanctions.
When an entrepreneur starts working on their new idea or business while still employed by another company, there may be issues related to employment agreements with invention assignment, non-competition, or other restrictive clauses. Michael Best applies our combined experience in employment law, intellectual property law, and start-up businesses to help entrepreneurs understand and navigate this potentially thorny issue.
Founders of start-up companies generally hold restricted stock, subject to vesting (a condition often required by investors). Under certain tax laws, these shares of stock are not taxable when first received — but if the company is successful, the shares could be worth a lot more by the time they vest and become taxable. This situation can be avoided, and additional tax benefits gained, by filing an 83(b) election with the IRS within 30 days after receipt of the shares of restricted stock.
Most entrepreneurs seek legal assistance with the complex process of applying for patents, but they may not realize they should also discuss potentially patentable ideas with legal counsel before disclosing them to anyone else. Trademark registration is easier, by contrast, and thus some tackle the trademark process without legal counsel. This can lead to mistakes such as incorrectly submitted trademark applications, resulting in loss of rights and the need to refile. We help clients with all aspects of intellectual property law, from applications to licensing and protecting against infringement.
Justin assists clients in achieving their business goals by obtaining protection of their intellectual property rights and developing strategies to enforce them. Justin has extensive experience resolving IP related disputes through litigation. He has achieved positive results on behalf of his clients in cases involving utility patents, design patents, trade dress, copyrights, as well as challenging the validity of patents through Post-Grant Proceedings before the United States Patent Office (USPTO).
As senior counsel, Josh advises clients in all realms of corporate law, including federal and state securities law compliance, the formation and financing of start-up businesses, and mergers and acquisitions.
Dan is an approachable, energetic, and trusted associate with a practice focusing on general business and other corporate matters. Dan counsels corporate clients of all sizes and brings a broad range of experience to his practice in corporate law, including corporate planning and formation, commercial contracting and negotiation, mergers and acquisitions, and venture capital and angel fundraising.
Brad counsels clients on mergers and acquisitions, federal and state securities law compliance, forming and financing startup businesses and real estate matters.

Some years ago, we were lucky to meet a nice couple on a swingers site, Joe and Sandy, although not as kinky as us, they were good fun and we met them as friend's too, it was nice when Sandy rang to arrange a meeting for Saturday night, and asked about our web site, saying she had seen we liked anal sex. I told her we both did, this shocked her a bit, and she asked more questions, then said she had wanted to try anal, but Joe wasn't into it, and that was as far as she had got, I told her if she wanted to try anal Saturday night, to just go with what we did, and let us work it out for her. They arrived around 4 pm Saturday, Sue and Sandy went to try on some dress's, that's what we told Joe, Sue was showing Sandy how to use our douche, every now and then they came out to show us a dress or two to keep Joe happy. We had a bbq then got into the spa, it didn't take Sue long, she had Joe sitting on the edge and was sucking his cock, I took Sandy into the bedroom and started working on her, licking and then fucking her pussy, then asked was she ready to try anal, a sly smile was all I needed. I got her worked up, fucking her pussy harder, building her up with a good few orgasms, then with a bit of lube, slid a finger in her ass, she held firm, her orgasm got stronger, then a second and third finger went in her ass, she loved it, pushing back firmly onto my finger's, her orgasm louder than normal, so it was time to try her ass with my cock, with a bit of spit, I eased the head into ...

Aims : Recession defects are one of the most common findings in periodontal problems affecting individuals of almost all ages to some degree. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate common etiological factors of gingival recession and hence its treatment and/or prevention.
Methods and Material: A total of 120 individuals suffering from gingival recession were examined. Data was collected by an interview with the help of a proforma and then the clinical examination was carried out. The presence of gingival recession was recorded using Miller's classification of gingival recession. Various indices like Silness and Loe Plaque Index, Greene and Vermillion Oral Hygiene Index, Russel's periodontal Index were recorded.
Statistical analysis: The data thus obtained were subjected to statistical analysis using Chi square test.
Results: The prevalence of gingival recession was found to increase with age . High frequency of gingival recession was seen in males (61.6%) compared to females. Gingival recession was commonly seen in mandibular incisors, lateral incisors and canines. The most common cause for gingival recession was dental plaque accumulation (93.3%) followed by faulty toothbrushing (75.8%). Other causes were smokeless tobacco habit (30%), frenal pull (15.8%) and malposition.(15.8%).
Conclusions: It is important to identify the cause of gingival recession in a patient so that prevention can be done or appropriate treatment can be given.

Hundreds of school districts across the nation have embraced the "Meatless Mondays" option, and Willoughby-Eastlake has joined the crowd.
Although they will begin offering meatless options in the elementary schools on Mondays, there also will be an alternative lunch and breakfast for those children who would not like to participate in the switch.
Steve Nedlik, director of operations and security for the district, said that food services have been working in conjunction with their partner, Chartwells School Dining Services, to create healthy meatless options every Monday.
Some options include fish sticks, pizza or mac and cheese.
The district, over the past year and a half in their relationship with Chartwells, already has been taking steps toward a healthier menu, as well as fresher options.
"Chartwells' focus is on making sure that things are nutritious and making sure there are proteins and all of the important things," said Catharine Beal director of community relations for Willoughby-Eastlake School District.
After launching the Meatless Mondays, Nedlik said that food services will reconvene at the end of January to see whether the program has any impact on meal sales, positive or negative. The district also will include a survey for parents or students to fill out online about the new meatless program.
In addition to offering meatless options, the district will roll out more educational pieces for nutrition through their Chefs 2 Schools program and Chartwells.
During the Chefs 2 School programs, District Chef Michael Nowosielski increases awareness of healthy foods through fun activities, such as make-you-own smoothies or omelettes at breakfast.
"If you made that choice ... to go vegan or vegetarian, but they're not eating the right type of vegetables to get all the nutritional value that they need," Nedlik explained. "So, I think there is an educational piece there that would be important for anyone who's considering to be either vegan or vegetarian to go about it the healthiest way possible."

At least eight individuals were arrested today at the Manchester police station during an accountability demonstration motivated by both the Manchester police's beating of a man outside of the Strange Brew tavern, and the recent multi-day standoff which led to the shooting death of a man in his home. Police began confiscating cameras after two chalking arrests were made, and throughout the day individuals were picked off for a variety of reasons. I myself was arrested with two others for allegedly standing on the sidewalk. Yes, this is a crime, according to the police, who cited a city ordinance that you must stay in constant motion on the sidewalk.
Police found a camera in my pocket during booking and were not going to list it with my property and said they were going to seize it as evidence. Upon release (I'm not sure how long I was in custody, it felt like thirty to forty minutes) my camera was listed with the rest of my property and the footage was retained. There will be lots of footage coming soon.
Free Keene has the earliest published coverage here:
Here's the meat of the footage from the Free Concord cam that survived a journey through the depths of Manchester PD.
Oct 3 2011: According to Greg Muller, the man representing 'the state' in bringing charges against the Chalking 8, Manchester police allowed their own video recordings from the day to be destroyed, all while they were stealing cameras from private individuals. See:
Manchester Police Destroy Key Evidence in Chalking 8 Case
On December 27, 2011, I was found not guilty of two charges of disorderly conduct. More cases are pending. See the pinged links in the comments section for the continuing updates on this case.

The long-in-development Shazam! movie is the next DCEU film to shoot.
In an interview with Film Riot (via Heroic Hollywood), director David F. Sandberg confirmed the script for the movie is complete, indicating it won't be too long now until production starts. According to earlier reports, filming should begin sometime early next year for a potential 2019 release.
Sandberg also revealed there were older versions of the script that featured Black Adam (Dwayne Johnson) in the film before the director joined the project. However, Shazam! has since been split into two movies, with Johnson getting his own standalone Black Adam film.
Elsewhere in the interview, Sandberg discussed which of the character's origins stories might inspire the movie. The director has been reading old comics where Shazam fights Adolf Hitler, as well as more recent tales about the DC superhero. "You know, you have the most recent sort of Geoff Johns version and then you have Ordwell version and then you have those really old versions," said Sandberg.
The next upcoming DCEU film is Justice League, which opens in theaters on November 17.
For IGN's thoughts on Sandberg's latest movie, read our Annabelle: Creation review.

You've written your book and after careful consideration, you've decided that self-publishing is the right choice for you. All you need now is an editor and a printer and you're good. Right? Well, not quite. From the outside, the world of publishing looks fairly straightforward. The writer writes, the editor edits, and the printer prints. But there are, in fact, a few more people involved in producing a quality book. Depending on your needs, there may be many more people involved.
Publishing a book is similar to raising a child. You invest your blood, sweat, and tears into its formation, and then send it off into the world with the hope someone (!) will love and cherish it the way you do. And while we're on that analogy, it takes a village to do this.
In the case of your book, your village consists of some key players: the project manager, the writer(s), the editors, the designer and possibly illustrator, and the printer. You'll also likely need someone to help you market the thing, but we'll get to that in a later post. Not every book will need every member of this team, but every book will need at least some of these players.
At Girl Friday Productions, we take self-published books through the same process a book goes through at a traditional publisher. The majority of our editorial partners have done this same work in-house for publishers in New York and around the country. Whether you use us or someone else, industry expertise is absolutely something to look for. People can play fast and loose with terms like "editor," "designer," and "marketing expert," so do your research before signing on with an editorial company.
The Project Manager:
The first thing we do with a self-published book at Girl Friday is assign a project manager. Why? Because book publishing is a complicated business! There are many details to attend to and many opportunities for mistakes. Your project manager is your key ally in creating your book, and is the one who makes sure everyone on your team can focus on their particular job. She will be your guidepost throughout this process and will serve as a consistent person to go to for answers to your questions and support when needed. She will usher your project from idea to writer to editors to designer to printer—and will know when to apply heat and when to take it off. By the end of this process, you may consider your project manager one of your best friends—or at least your most reliable one!
The Writers:
Writers? Isn't there just one writer? Well, not always. Depending on the project, GFP may begin working with a client after the manuscript is written, but we often step in before this point. Some possible members on the writing team include a collaborator, someone who works closely with a client to help him or her write the best manuscript they possibly can; a ghostwriter, a writer who writes the manuscript based on the information provided by the client; a book doctor, a writer who substantially rewrites or finishes parts of the book the client is not able to finish; or a bylined author, who fully takes on the role of author or coauthor.
A ghostwriter may be employed when a client has a powerful story to tell but realizes it can best be conveyed by a writer with experience in the genre. Memoirs and business strategies are two types of books commonly written by ghostwriters.
A collaborator works hand in hand with a client to help convey the best story possible. An example of a collaboration may be a client who owns a restaurant and wants to write a cookbook. The recipes in the book are the client's, but the collaborator helps format them in a way that is most enticing to a reader.
Book doctors often come into the picture after a client has completed a rough draft of a book and needs help completing it or substantially revising it. (A book doctor differs from an editor in that he writes or rewrites whole sections of a book.)
We also work with clients to provide bylined, established authors or coauthors. An instance of this may be a local corporation that wants a book celebrating a major anniversary and asks us to find the best author to write the manuscript. In this case, our writer does all the research and writing and works directly with the rest of the editorial team—from start to finish.
The Editors:
An editor is an editor is an editor, right? Nope. Every book involves a number of editors. There are three types of editors all books should go through on the path to publishing: a developmental editor, a copyeditor, and a proofreader.
Your developmental editor takes a big-picture look at your book and finds issues pertaining to organization, continuity, and, for novels, plot and character development. Sometimes called a substantive editor, the developmental editor ensures that the book makes sense and draws the reader through it. At GFP, our developmental edits also include a line edit (at publishing houses, these edits are sometimes separated). This means the editor makes edits "on the line," fixing wording and correcting syntax or tense issues. She will also edit with an eye toward readability and will make suggestions for improvement.
Once the developmental edit is done, the copyeditor steps in. He is a key member of your team. The copyeditor fixes the text to ensure it aligns with Chicago Manual of Style rules, but he also does a fact-check (could your character really catch a train directly from Oslo to Trondheim?) and, depending on the level needed, does an additional line edit. A copyeditor may also review word choice and stylistic consistency, little things that can make a huge difference.
The proofreader is your next and final editor, and she works with your manuscript once it is in layout—meaning the designer has designed it and it looks like a book should look! The proofreader continues the job of the copyeditor, closely checking the text for any spelling or grammar mistakes, but also ensures that the text flowed properly into design. She will fix widows and orphans, bad breaks, and incorrect formatting.
If you are publishing a nonfiction book, you may also need an indexer. An indexer pulls proper nouns and topics from your text and creates an index guiding the reader directly to the page number. Cookbooks commonly have indices, as do history books.
The Visual Artists:
When you publish a book, it's not just about the words—it also needs to look amazing. That's where the designer and illustrator come in.
Your designer is the person who will make your manuscript a book. The designer will create a layout that reflects the nature of your book, and once your copyedit is complete, the designer will pour the text into the layout. The process is fairly straightforward for a text-only novel, and quite complicated for an illustrated book. Depending on your project, your book may go through up to three rounds of design tweaks, called passes or galleys, until it looks exactly the way you want it to. The designer will also work with you to create an eye-catching cover that conveys the spirit of your project.
Not all books require an illustrator, but if you want a custom-illustrated cover—say, for your science-fiction masterpiece—or we are creating an illustrated children's book for you, your illustrator will be an integral part of your process. The illustrator works closely with the designer and writer to create the best cover or spread illustrations for your manuscript.
The Printers:
Finally, the book is designed and ready for publication. It's time to push "Go"! Depending on the type of book you are publishing, we may recommend a print-on-demand printer, or we may recommend a traditional printer.
Nowadays, print-on-demand printers are becoming an increasingly viable and popular way to print books. For non-illustrated books or those that only have black-and-white illustrations, print-on-demand is a great option. You can purchase exactly the number of books you need—instead of the minimum quantity a traditional printer requires.
If you are publishing a four-color illustrated book, such as a children's book or a book of photography, you will want to go through a traditional printer, who has the specialized equipment and expertise to provide custom work. While you can work directly with a traditional printer, the process is less customer-friendly than working with a print-on-demand printer. You may wish to hire a print broker to facilitate the process. This person will help you negotiate fees and quantities with the printer, explain the specifications (for example, what is paper over board, head and tail bands, or Smyth sewn?), and work to pick the best format for your book.
In the end, the term self-publishing may be a bit of a misnomer. You might call it, instead, team publishing. When it comes to self-publishing, finding the right team may just be the most important thing you do.

Yesterday, Starz released the third episode of their new show American Gods, and everyone is talking about the sex scene. Christened as one of "the most explicit gay sex scenes ever show on television," the sequence is undeniably stimulating.
If you haven't seen American Gods, it's fantasy series based on the eponymous novel by Neil Gaiman. Each episode of the series strays from the main narrative to reveal the relationships between mortals and gods. This particular storyline follows a pessimistic salesman Salim (Omid Abtahi) as he cruises in a cab driven by an ancient genie-like deity known as a jinn (Mousa Kraish). In Arabian and Muslim mythology, a jinn is a supernatural being that can interact physically with people and objects.

The scene starts with Salim waiting quietly in an office for a potential sales opportunity. After a few hours, he's ordered to leave and finds himself on the streets of New York during a downpour. Soaking wet and filled with worry, Salim finds shelter from the rain in a taxi.
Salim and the taxi driver, who sports sunglasses at night, instantly hit it off. Stuck in traffic, the taxi driver dozes, and when Salim tries to wake him, his shades slip and reveal something amazing. The driver's eyes burn with fire. Immediately, he identifies the driver as a jinn. The jinn admits he's been driving for more than a day and Salim empathizes. When they arrive at Salim's hotel, he apprehensively invites the jinn up to his room.
When they settle into the chamber, the jinn showers and Salim nervously disrobes. With a towel clinging to his waist, the jinn steps out of the bathroom to find Salim. He drops the towel and reveals his impressive manhood. "I wish you could see what I could see," Salim says. He kneels in front of the jinn to take the massive penis as the jinn replies, "I do not grant wishes."
The two unite their bodies in an incredibly intense and beautiful same-sex sex scene that climaxes in a fiery finish.
If you don't have Starz but want to watch American Gods, you can simply sign up for a free trial on Amazon.
New episodes of American Gods air every Sunday at 9 p.m. E/P on Starz.

Remember Harmony Community School?
They are the Cincinnati charter school the AG's office has been trying to shut down since January because of "abject academic failure, gross financial mismanagement, ethical lapses, and what amounts to consumer fraud."
Well it looks like Harmony is still operating and they are in the news again. This time they are planning to partner with Cricket Wireless to open "a cell phone store" in the school. The goal is "to teach students retail and entrepreneurial skills."
Putting aside the fact that in 2001 Harmony planned to open a clothing store in the school but ditched the idea after "money and merchandise went missing"- I still think, in theory, it isn't a bad idea to have high school students learn responsibility through work.
I've had a job ever since I was 14 and look how responsible I turned out! 😉
Anyway- the idea of a school-sponsored work program is good in theory but in practice this specific one is bound to fail. And here's why…
1. The school itself is understaffed. They have a student teacher ratio of nearly 50/1. And unless the teachers, who are traditionally underpaid at charter schools, receive some sort of financial benefit from helping the students run the "store" – there will most assuredly be a lack of oversight leading to the same problems as before.
2. The school has proven that it can't manage it's own finances. How the hell do you expect the people who run it to teach students something they can't even do themselves?
3. The school has a HORRIBLE record for graduating students. Having students work in a store instead of taking class is a great idea only AFTER YOU'VE TAUGHT THEM what they need to know to graduate. And taking time away from much needed class work is only going to make things worse.
4. The store they are planning to open will sell phones and phone service only to students of the school. "The general public would not be able to shop there."
5. The hearing for the previously mentioned attorney general's lawsuit against Harmony is set for July 14th. The school may very well be shut down before the program can start.
School Choice at *ITS* Worst, no apostrophe
Why has this grammatical error gotten so popular in the last couple of years?
Thanks Heather. Typo fixed.
Funny thing is: I'm usually the one doing the correcting.
I think people just get so used to using apostrophe S for possessives that they just add it to the pronoun without thinking.

A woman will always be seen differently in terms of her responsibilities and capabilities when compared to men. Today, when so many girls compete at equal levels with boys in schools and colleges, we young women expect the same when we go out to work in companies. But there is something that pulls me and probably any other girl who hears the actual expectation that people have from a woman. The thing is that this patriarchal society has so deeply instilled its seeds into the minds of people, that it has found a place in the young women of this generation too.
The biggest problem is that though women want to do well in their lives and support feminism, many of them don't even realise that they subtly destroy their own existence in society by accepting things that are not right for them. It's very important for the women of this generation to not feel that everything is their fault or their responsibility.
On paper, our country states that it has equal opportunities for men and women in every field, but for real, we all know this is not true. This is because a woman is always seen less capable of doing well enough due to multiple reasons. The first being that male dominance in society makes them think that men are more intelligent and more likely to handle work in a better manner. This myth has been so easily passed on to the minds of young girls today that they too think that they are not capable of doing well enough, which in turn makes them less confident hence, job opportunities lessen for them. This is the second problem. And thirdly, it's the pressure from a society that expects a woman to take care of the family and quit her job if she is not able to do so in a perfect manner.
If a woman doesn't fulfil these responsibilities, she won't be warmly accepted by society. With all these existing norms, a women can't be expected to rise enough, which makes the problem worse as men start thinking of themselves to be more superior. But for women to grow, it is necessary that they themselves take a step forward by being more confident of themselves and keeping their career goals in mind with high determination. It is also important for other women to embrace the success of a woman, so that women themselves don't come in the way of spreading feminist values!
Apart from this, an issue that's worse is that women always become the centre of attention in any case, be it a survivor of rape or a women publicly expressing relationship. The problem is that even young girls, when they see a boy or girl displaying love in public, they see the woman in the wrong light. Our society has made it impossible to break stereotypes of what a woman is supposed to do and what she is not. When we hear leaders of national relevance voicing their opinion that it's the woman's fault that she got raped, it simply ignites the patriarchal nature of the society and women once again realise that their position will always remain the same.
Even women who call themselves feminists sometimes hesitate to support other women against whom a crime has been committed – be it rape, sexual assault, marital torture or anything else. This is because of the shame they think is associated with the victim of the crime. The sad part is that even today, there is a huge portion of women who are tortured every day – mentally, emotionally and sexually – and we are doing nothing about it. For a country to be a feminist country, all its women have to think in the same direction. So here is a plea to all the women out there to not stay silent when any wrong is done to any women you know. Don't think it to be a shame to support a woman, when a crime is committed against her. It will always be the culprit who will be guilty, so don't hide from saving a woman ever to help this society ensure that all its women can breathe peacefully!

Have you checked this mod: Moddb.com
Overpopulation on Earth and a severe lack of resources led to a global crisis without precedents in the history of mankind. New technologies have allowed numerous advances and have provided us with different ways of exploiting natural resources for generations. But we seemed to forget that everything has a price, and always something has to give... After it all became critical, the remaining nations of the world created the Global Governments Alliance, which pushed forward a Space Colonization Project, being the S.T.A.R. 1088 Harvester Spaceship a part of it. However, its fate becomes compromised when something crashes against the hull causing a global system failure, rendering the whole spaceship inoperational and out of control, leaving everybody stranded under a complete lockdown. Prepare for an unforgiving journey across 'the mother of all ships' while struggling against the odds to send a signal in hopes help arrives.
Second and most likely final patch for the CED's Assets Pack. Less than 2MB, with it the pack will be fully updated.
This is now Version 1.2, and will most likely be the last patch released for this pack.
With this one, your pack should be complete and fully functional.
Patches are cumulative, you do need Version 1.0 (The original release) and the first patch (1.1) for this one to work properly.
The changes done here are only 3, plus the addition of the version text to the guide screen, which will indicate you are fully updated.
-Made chaingunners wind up their weapon before shooting. This will provide a short moment in which players can shoot.
-Fixed the grenade top popping off before throwing it. Now it will stay like it should be.
-Fixed the machinegun reload animation. It takes place closer to the screen and the player's wrist is no longer visible. This gives the reload a more aesthetic look.
So, it's been a fun experience, but this pack may no longer be updated by me.
I apologize for not providing a bugless release at once.

Awesome mod, with great new animations and realistic sounds !!! Onlyh for Veterans, is difficult, but not impossible, its a fresh new way to play Doom 3 again !
This has revitalized Doom 3 for me, it has even made some other somewhat lackluster mods interesting when ran together. Takes a little messing around, but worth it.
hmm what other mods do you use with it?
I've used it with a few different ones, mainly user made maps and map packs. Pretty much any that use standard resources. I will install yours into the other mod package, works a lot of the time, like the old commercial used to say, your mileage may vary.
If the original release of Doom 3 had been like this, all the developers would be riding solid gold Ferraris', and eating Unicorn sandwiches. I'm about halfway through on Veteran, very tough but extremely fun. Even little things like the POV "blink" shows your attention to detail. Great stuff.
I hit submit on this before I realized I wasn't logged in, brain fart.
Put the Aim Button on MULTIPLAYER please! :C
i want it

For you mummies(& daddies) to be.. A little advice to help you on your journey...
Becoming a parent, as I'm sure many people have said, is the most life-changing experience you'll ever go through, and one which pretty much happens within a few minutes!
I wanted to offer a little advice on becoming a parent, but realised everyone's take on parenting is completely different, so I asked some mummies and daddies ''What advice would you give to your former-before-children-self?'' and their contributions are at the end of this post!
So to start, I have a few pieces to share..
You'll feel emotional over everything in the first few days/weeks – But that's ok!
I remember arriving home with Clark, exhausted and emotional. I sat down on the sofa, looked at my husband and said 'now what?' We now had a purpose and a responsibility to nurture and take care of the most smallest blessing in the world! How on earth were we going to do this when we can't even keep a plant alive? But the thing is you do. You, yourself do so much growing and learning in the first days, weeks, months of becoming a parent, and I'm still learning things now even when Clark's almost 3.
You will find yourself crying at random intervals for no apparent reason. It could be on a day your baby does something new, or you're so proud of how high your washing pile is, or something really random like how cute a tiny sock is (Yes, this can happen!)
Your labour plan may go out of the window…
I'm not going to go into too much detail about my labours as every labour is different, but I will say I personally believe it's better to go in with an open mind. If you have a birth plan be prepared that it may not go to plan as there are so many factors which can contribute to how your labour goes. For instance, I was always against an epidural, no no no! But I had one.. With both boys. Turns out my pain threshold is much lower than I thought! Should have guessed that when I had my ears pierced and had to remove them...twice!
Everyone is different!
Don't compare yourself to others or doubt yourself. Because I had an epidural doesn't mean that I'm weaker than a mum who didn't, just because you may have a caesarean, doesn't make you any weaker than a mum who didn't. The end result is what matters, you did it! You gave life to your baby, however easy or hard it was, and whatever the circumstances, you did it. So always remember you got this mama!
Daddies, your partner's attention will be completely diverted
So please don't panic! It doesn't mean she loves you any less, or that she's forgotten about you, her priorities have changed. It will be strange as you've been consumed by each other for so long and now her attention is focussed on your baby, but there's nothing to get the 'ump' about. When you're feeling low let her know, the chances are she hasn't even realised (in a nice way!) Make time for date nights, buy little gifts, don't let it drift you apart. She is being the mother to your child :)
I will add here that under no circumstances is the willy dance ever acceptable pre or post children. If she's in an emotional place, be warned, she will cut it off.
You'll have rubbish days, and days when you feel on top of the world, it's a rollercoaster, but not a uhoh I'm gonna vomit kinda coaster, an amazing one! Enjoy it!
So here's what other mummies and daddies wanted to contribute to 'What advice would you give to your former-before-children-self?' If you click the first picture it'll allow you to scroll through!
Let me know your thoughts!

They exhibit a natural tolerance of climatic extremes and are capable of high performance in areas that vary in geography, temperature, and humidity, as well as feed and forage.
Katahdins usually have a docile and quiet disposition with good flocking tendencies - a temperament which contributes to easy handling. The coat can be any colour from white to brown, black or spots thereof. Polled animals are preferred; scurred or horned animals are recorded as such.
Katahdin ewes do not, as a rule, require much assistance at lambing, exhibiting strong maternal instincts with sufficient milk supply to raise twins or triplets. With good nutrition and management there is a high survival rate with the lamb crop. With the belly area being clean it is not necessary to pre-lamb shear. Katahdin ewes with such excellent maternal traits could be used in a cross breeding program to enhance survival rates with less stress at lambing time.
The shedding coat of the Katahdin does not require shearing.
They mature early and have strong fertility traits so early separation of intact rams is advisable.
Averaging 7-9 lbs at birth, lambs grow and mature rapidly to an acceptable market weight using a good forage based management or with grain supplementation.
Katahdin produces a lean carcass with a mild flavour.
Some producers have experienced very little taste variation in the Katahdin meat even at a mature age, therefore maintaining a marketable product past the "lamb" stage.
KHSI (Katahdin Hair Sheep International - USA) Breed Std.
Size: Live weight of a mature ewe in good condition usually ranges from 150 to 185 pounds; a mature ram will weigh 200 to 265 pounds. Average birth weight of twins is about 8 pounds.

Manchester United legend and the club's most decorated player, Ryan Giggs is on the verge of taking over as the new Nottingham Forest manager. The Welshman will untie a 29 years association with the Theater of Dreams as he prepares to take on his first full-time managerial job.
The 42-year-old has done all at Manchester United. He has been an apprentice, a player as well as a caretaker manager at the club. He has also served as the No. 2 of former boss Louis Van Gaal. The man from Canton, Cardiff, United Kingdom had the opportunity to be a part of new manager Jose Mourinho's backroom staff, but not his No. 2. Mourinho's ever trusted Rui Fario will take on that role.

Ryan Giggs will be looking to take all the managerial experience he has received from the Dutchman Van Gaal and utilize it to take Nottingham Forest back to their glory days. It's hard for the modern football supporters to imagine that Forest were once the consecutive European Champions in 1978-79 and 1979-80 seasons under legendary manager Brian Clough, as reported by Mirror.
Giggs will succeed Dougie Freedman, who has vacated the position at Forest since March, this year. Paul Williams have been acting as the interim caretaker manager.

The Welshman served as the caretaker boss of Manchester United after David Moyes was sacked in 2014. His record as a manager is two wins, one draw and a loss from four games.
Nottingham Forest finished 16th in the Football League Championship last season and will be tipped to fight for promotion under Giggs, according to the Independent.
Meanwhile, if Giggs is appointed as the new Nottingham Forest manager this week, he will come aware of the club's fixtures for the upcoming season this Wednesday.

Our strong innovative spirit and market driven approach combined with working in close collaboration with our customers allow us to provide the industry sustainable additive solutions in that meet the current and future demands. Our applications are mainly based on 1-monoglycerides, enzymes and nano-coated vitamins & minerals.
Based on an innovative technology, we introduced 1-monoglyceride-applications in the animal industry. 1-Monoglycerides are produced by esterifying undissociated fatty acids with glycerol and work via the bloodstream of the animal. Their unique mode of action and characteristics result in a strong antibacterial and antiviral effect. Our 1-monoglcyerides are available in both liquid, and dry form, and are heat stable, odorless and pH-independent. This technology is developed to reduce medication costs.
Our multi-enzyme concept consists of eight main enzyme activities produced by different micro-organisms in different fermentation processes under different fermentation conditions. This allows a more efficient breakdown of the complex feed matrix, the use of alternative protein sources, and a greater release of more nutrients such as energy and amino acids. Formulators can save on their raw material costs while improving technical results. Our multi-enzyme concept can be applied in both liquid and dry form. By applying nano-coating technology we have also developed a heat stable powder form. We will offer the first EU registered multi-enzyme formulation combining eight different main enzyme activities.
Based on extensive research, we developed a wide range of nano-coated minerals and vitamins. FRAmelco's nano-coating is heat stable, environmental friendly and safe for both animals and humans. Applying these minerals and vitamins enhances bio-availability by an efficient target release and by an increased stability during feed production and feed digestion.
As Framelco is a global player who is well known for its innovating spirit we know that gifted individuals are the key to success. Attracting new talents is fundamental to maintaining our growth in the future. Our young and energetic team of experts is always welcoming newcomers. Framelco is constantly expanding its business and looking for new team members in almost all continents. Worldwide we employ multi-cultural skilled personnel. We are confident in saying that proficient candidates find their challenge at Framelco. Framelco provides the necessary tools to nurture personal development.
That is why Framelco kindly invites highly motivated talents to apply here.

You don't understand our context
Over the years I've heard my fair share of excuses on why innovation is so difficult for individuals, ideas and organisations. Most excuses refer to an external factor that they 'can't control'. Regulation, policy, market access, unique customer sensitivities, the list is endless.
Before I get on my high horse to preach, I am happy to admit when I in the wrong, I am happy to concede when I don't fully understand the challenges of a particular market or country. You don't last nearly a decade in innovation without a healthy degree of humility and curiosity. I embrace what I don't know I don't know. Although it's my job to challenge entrepreneurs and enterprises. I am good at my job because I don't accept the excuses.
Challenging the paradigm of a company, industry or country is the core pillar of breakthrough innovation. Unfortunately the vast majority of companies lock themselves in a 'context' prison, dismissing the perspective of outsiders or challengers. It's this very reason many companies being disrupted choose to fight the disruptor, rather than adapt to new market conditions.
The most common excuse is
"You just don't understand the context of our..."
This is especially frustrating when it's expressed in the face of data that challenges that mindset. Market points that illustrate a change in paradigm of an industry's core thesis. Kodak, Blockbuster and Borders were all victims of their own excuses. They failed to accept that core measure of value in their industry could be shifted.
Disruptors don't compete on the incumbent measures of an industry, they look to reverse engineer a social or emotional differentiator that completely changes the game. The technology, any supposed 'unfair' advantage, or alternative commercial model aren't their secret. They just changed how the industry is measured in the eyes of the customer.
Lead innovation with excuses only leads to what I like to call the 'incumbent's prison', a series of walls they construct to justify why they are right not to listen to outsiders, not to change, and more importantly, not to challenge themselves. And it only has one outcome.
My of my biggest rewards when working with corporates, is the moment that shift their paradigm. Break free of the prison their past success has created. It transforms the individuals, and they never go back. They become the challenger, as new ways of operating open their eyes to new approaches, new ideas and new ways of investigating curiosity. These individuals become the catalysts. The future of a company lays in their ability to champion their new paradigm.
If their energy and passion for this new perspective is continually blocked, these golden individuals either fade or leave. And if either happens, I fear for the future of your organisation.
Companies need to champion the individuals that manage to break free of the 'incumbent's prison' and look to replicate their journey.

My friend's son Tom has joined a band. They're called Mutilated Monkey Wrench – or something like that.
Mutilated Monkey Wrench has so far had two gigs. One was in the back room of a pub which was attended by four band members, a couple of girlfriends, three classmates and two women who had mistaken the room for the ladies' loo. The women hung about for a while, thinking the line of jiggling youngsters watching the stage was the queue for the lavatories. They left in a hurry when their own jiggling became unbearable. The other gig was in a village hall on Bonfire Night. They played to the accompaniment of loud fireworks and caused much bemusement to elderly village ladies taking refuge from the cold to eat their hotdogs indoors.
The band is heavy metal with a nod towards death metal. Does this mean anything to you? It is, as far as I can make out from the monosyllabic grunts that pass for conversation in my friend's house, a nihilistic look at life, with violence, death and darkness featuring heavily. Usual teenage fare.
My friend was worried that Tom was going to grow up to be, if not a serial killer, then one of those weird loners who parents warn you will come and get you if you don't behave. I told her I was sure it was just a phase. Weren't our parents petrified that 70s music would turn us all into Janis Joplin or Alice Cooper? But most of us ended up more Olivia Newton John than Ozzy Osbourne.
Mutilated Monkey Wrench have made a CD. You can listen to a few songs on one of those sites where 50-year-old men pretend to be 20-year-old uber-cool students in a vain attempt to engage uber-cool 19-year-old girls in naughty conversation - not realising they are talking to 50-year-old women pretending to be ..... you get my drift.
I have been honoured with an original CD which I have put onto my iPOD. I made the mistake of switching it on before adjusting the volume.
I'll let you know what it's like as soon as my perforated eardrums have healed.

My son (age 17) has just formed a band with four of his mates. They practice in our garage and I dread to think what the nieghbours think about it - the racket is dreadful!! I always make sure they finish by 10oclock at night and get that usual teenage sullen look as a result. I put up with it all just in case they make their fortune one day and my son remembers his dear old mum!!ReplyDelete

"We will get you a caddie who really knows the course and won't give you bad advice — and they work for peanuts!" a representative of The Retreat & Links at Silvies Valley Ranch said.A retreat in Seneca, Oregon, says it will start using goats as caddies on a seven-hole course called McVeigh's Gauntlet starting in July, local outlet WAND reported.
The kid caddies can carry drinks, balls, tees and a few clubs in special satchels strapped to their bodies and are professionally trained on the course's "American Range Goat" ranch, the retreat said.
"We're taking the golf experience at Silvies Valley Ranch to a new level in 2018," Dr. Scott Campbell, a veterinarian and owner of the ranch, told KOIN, dubbing his plan "an unprecedented caddie training program."
But animal-rights activists think this is a baaad idea — and that there's a chance the goats and golfers will butt heads.
"Goats have minds of their own and activities they enjoy: They aren't machines," PETA President Ingrid Newkirk told BBC News in a statement. "They should be left alone and given the freedom to do things like graze and butt heads — so if this plan goes forward, we anticipate a few golfers with bruises."
Colby Marshall, the head of Livestock and Guest Services at the ranch, said he thought the goat caddies, led by head caddie Bruce LeGoat, are a "wonderful idea."
"Goats are very social animals, they are very fun, and it is going to add a whole lot of fun into the game of golf," he said.

E•D•S Engineers worked with the client to check the design and could provide the client with an expectable product at a competive price. After rigorous in-house testing before submitting to the potential new customer, E•D•S ran independent tests utilizing manufacturers test equipment. Once convinced the weld nuts met the requirements for performance and quality, samples were submitted to the client for their in house and field-testing. The client confirmed E•D•S test results and noted that the E•D•S parts far exceeded the quality and performance of previous suppliers.
E•D•S won the business and continues to work with the client to improve other products they provide.
Future Outlook:
Since the original success of the first order, E•D•S U.S. Engineers continue to work closely with the customer's engineering staff on new product development. As the result of E•D•S diligence the customers has decide to replace a indicator and pressure regulator with E•D•S.
